Fatigue is a common issue that can significantly impact daily life and overall well-being.
While multiple factors can contribute to fatigue, including stress, lack of sleep, and medical conditions, nutrition plays an important role in maintaining energy levels and combating tiredness.
Here are some ways to combat fatigue through nutrition:
Iron is crucial for oxygen transport in the blood, and a deficiency can cause anemia, leading to fatigue. Red meat, poultry, fish, beans, lentils, tofu, spinach, and fortified cereals are all great sources of iron. You can also pair iron-rich plant foods with vitamin C-rich foods (like citrus fruits, bell peppers, and tomatoes) to enhance absorption.
B vitamins, particularly B6, B12, and folic acid, play a vital role in energy metabolism and red blood cell production. Whole grains, eggs, dairy, leafy greens, meat, poultry, and legumes are all great sources of B vitamins.
Dehydration can lead to fatigue and decreased concentration. It’s important to drink enough water throughout the day. Aim for at least 8 cups (2 litres) of water daily. You can also include hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelons, and oranges.
Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including energy production and muscle function. Nuts, seeds, whole grains, dark leafy greens, and legumes are very magnesium-rich.
Try Napiers Sea Pure Magnesium Capsules, a high-strength dose of magnesium plus a rich source of trace minerals for superior absorption and utilisation by the body.
CoQ10 is essential for mitochondrial energy production and acts as an antioxidant. Meat, fish, poultry, nuts, seeds, and spinach are all great sources of ubiquinol. Supplements of CoQ10 are also available in two forms; ubiquinol and ubiquinone. We recommend opting for the active form for better absorption, ubiquinol.
A consumer study in 2017 showed that out of over 100 consumers who took 100mg of CoQ10 Ubiquinol for 28 days, 8 out of 10 people felt an improvement in their health.

Omega-3s support brain health and reduce inflammation, potentially helping to alleviate fatigue. Fatty fish (like salmon, mackerel, and sardines), flaxseeds, chia seeds and walnuts are great sources of omega-3.
Incorporating specific fatigue-fighting foods, staying hydrated, taking supplements and adopting healthy lifestyle practices can significantly boost your energy while making you healthier and happier.
